TRANSCRIPT OF VOICE MESSAGE FROM SIRIUS BLACK TO JAMES POTTER ON OCTOBER 16
[Sirius Black]: James, I know you’re off visiting your grandpa for a bit, but I wanted to see about the prank. The other one was rubbish. Stinky shampoo and he didn’t even react! Stupid sod, I am honestly starting to really hate that bloke. Thinks he can go around thinking his superior. Normally I wouldn’t be one to judge cause my family is like that. But he disgusts me. So, I don’t know where you are currently, or when exactly you’ll be back. Before Halloween, I know. Just hurry up so we can update the Snivellus prank. I have an idea… dangerous but an idea. I love you Prongs and I miss you! Wormy and Moony miss you too. Just come back so we can do my prank idea, ok? Very important. Okay. Cheers

JAMES: (lifting Severus head with gloved arms) “Okay- Remus you take the legs. Sirius and Pete, the middle. I’ll take his head, got it? On the count of three. ONE, TWO, THREE!” (puts Severus on a little wagon, covering it up with Remus’ blanket)
REMUS: “That should make it easier.”
JAMES: “I still can’t believe we’re doing this. What if we get caught?”
SIRIUS: (pausing) “As long as no on finds out. Only we know about it. No one else. Got it?” (all the marauders nod) “Then we’re okay.”
